August Rain (Haiku)
Dark Clouds Forming
Dark clouds form overhead. They bring a short silence before rain begins to fall. Chattering raindrops and echoes of thunder. Winds whip and swirl. Trees shake and tremble. Budding leaves have their first taste of rain. People sit inside watching through the window. Droplets cling to the glass as they slip and fall. Eager breaths... Continue Reading →

Midsummer Memories
School it out and it's time to play. Learning a whole new type of way. No homework, quizzes, or presentations in school. Just tested by our peers with the same ridicule. The school year is over and we're done with Prom Kings. We've moved on to the summer and new gatherings. The parties are hot... Continue Reading →
Spring In The Air
The wind comes dancing across the field. It blows the new leaves on the branches making the trees shake. The small flowers poking up from the soil feel the warmth of the sun. They are able to shake off the dirt and take a breath. The birds return to the treetops and make their nests.... Continue Reading →
